The Walnut Creek Ada and Software Engineering CD-ROM set (October 1999 Edition)

This CD-ROM set is a 2-disc update to the November 1998 base edition that was distributed at our Seminar last year; a limited number of these base sets will be available for attendees who didn't participate then.

If you plan to attend SIGAda'99 on October 17-21 or Ada-Belgium'99 on November 19, these are the double Ada CD-ROMs you can receive there.

The following overview was extracted from http://www.cdrom.com/titles/prog/ada.phtml
Information on the base CD-ROM set is still available via the Ada-Belgium'98 pages.

Title: "Ada and Software Engineering (ASE)"
